Ready Meal Banding and Bundling

Banding is the perfect method for labelling ready-made meals. In many cases, the band serves as a label, seal, and branding tool all at the same time. As the band only covers a small part of the packaging, the customer has an optimal view of its contents and is more likely to buy it.

What ready meal banding replaces

Ready meal banding holds the lid on and carries the information, in one pass. The band goes around a tray, a bowl, a pot or a carton and does the job of the cardboard sleeve that would otherwise be tooled for each pack shape.

That matters most when the range changes. A sleeve needs its own die for every new pack size, and a new die is a lead time and a minimum order. A band runs at any width in its range, so a new meal in a new container means a new print file, not new tooling.

Cooking instructions, allergens, use-by dates and the barcode print onto the band during banding. For a chilled line where the date changes every shift, that removes the label stock and the print-and-apply station from the process.

Chilled and frozen meal lines often run the same machine as bakery and dairy packs.

Make your packaging stand out

Ready-made meals are popular. A well-designed and catchy band contributes to your sales success. A good view of the content and design, will win over the consumer. To increase visibility, you can also opt for a partly transparent band. A die cut can also ensure that your product stands out even more. This allows you to make your logo or brand stand out even more.
